The UCM/4G works on 4G (or LTE) networks. It is not able to work in 5G -only networks, but 5G SIM cards can normally work on 4G Phones. However, UCM/4G makes use of 3G for Voice calls - it does not support VoLTE (Voice Over LTE). Check the mobile settings on the phone to ensure that LTE or 4G is selected, NOT 5G. for example for Samsung phones, go to Settings > Mobile Networks > Network Mode. select LTE/3G/2G (autoconnect) or 4G/3G/2G, as LTE is the same as 4G. Do NOT select 5G (ignore the Data Roaming button, it does not affect the network setting) If the SIM card uses VoLTE for voice calls then Voice calls will NOT work on UCM/4G.  To fix this, disable VoLTE on the SIM Card. On a Samsung Phone, go to Settings > Mobile Networks > VoLTE Calls, and Unselect this feature.  Note that some phones do not show this setting. [color=\"#ff0000\"]Note that the new UCM/GSMA7608 module supports VoLTE[/color] Also if the SIM Card is 5G, Disable \"Use 5G Standalone Networks\", and select Network Mode = LTE/3G/2G (auto connect). Remove the SIM Card from the phone and insert into the UCM/4G. The UCM/4G should now  be able to dial out by voice calls

The new forum for Comfort with Home Assistant is up, see http://www.comfortforums.com/forum143/

This includes instructions to set up Comfort with Home assistant on a Raspberry Pi

For the upcoming Comfort with ARM processor, the Battery and  Charger DC Volatge levels can be displayed n the Dashboard. 

I have had this unit for some time and has had no use of late. I want to start using this as the connectivity for the Home Assistant MQTT bridge, but found the ETH port has no life and no link on the switch. The UCM itself appears OK. Honestly, I can\'t recall what I last used it for.
Is there anything wrong with the DIP setup here? Any tips to pop it back to life? It\'s running 7.117, just updated it from an older release.
Thanks

Hello
I recently upgraded all my comfort firmware so it would be ready for the recent instructionson connection to home assist.I used the \'check for firmware updates\' options and all worked successfully but now my GSM4 module will not send messages. It either sits at \'connecting to GSM network\' or \'Signal strength 0\'. Before the upgrade it sat around 2 or 3.
The GSM module type is \'900-2G\'. Its currently got firmware version 7.240.
Any ideas?
Thank you
